问题     Emboldened by newfound profits and eager to shake off federal
control, a growing number of banks are resisting the Obama
administration’s proposals for fixing the financial system. Lenders
that skirted disaster only months ago with the help of taxpayer
dollars are now balking to government prescriptions.【S1】______
    Despite pressure from federal regulators, industry executives

plan. Administration officials characterize each part of their three-
pronged approach as crucial to supporting banks and restarting the
economy. And bankers are increasingly eager to extricate themselves【S3】______
from the government’s grasp, and worry what Washington will【S4】______
impose new restrictions on their businesses if the government’s
already considerate role in the industry grows.【S5】______
    "The pushback has been prettily hard," said Frederick【S6】______
Cannon, the chief equity strategist of Keefe, Bruyette & Woods and
a specialist in banking stocks. "If we don’t address these issues, it【S7】______
could have a negative effect on economic growth, which in return【S8】______
makes the banks’ problems worse. " As the Obama administration
marks its first 100 days, the banks’ resistance is complicating the
government’s effort to solve some of the thorniest problems of the
financial crisis. Opposition is building on several fronts. Citigroup,
together with Bank of America and other big banks are disputing so-【S9】______
called stress tests being conducted by federal examiners to determine
how these institutions would withstand a deep, prolonged recession.
The banks contend they are in better shape than the early findings
suggest, although it is likely that several will need raise capital.【S10】______ [br] 【S5】
选项
答案 considerate—considerable
解析 词义混淆。considerate的意思是“考虑周到的”，而considerable表示“相当大的”，此处说“如果政府在工商业中的重大作用继续扩大”，因此使用considerable。
